Benaron is the author of 'Running the Rift,' set in 1990s Rwanda

Tuesday, Feb. 7 — A Wednesday evening event with 2011 Bellwether Prize for Fiction winner Naomi Benaron at the Eastwood location of Schuler Books & Music has been canceled, due to illness. Benaron is touring to promote “Running the Rift,” her novel set in 1990s Rwanda, during the time of the Hutu/Tutsi battles.“We do not know at this time if the event will be rescheduled,” said Schuler promotions coordinator Whitney Spotts.
